archdaily.com·May 8, 2026

The Karens Minde Aksen project in Copenhagen, designed by Schønherr, transforms a low-lying park into a climate-resilient public space that integrates stormwater management with community use, featuring a unique "Brick River" for water flow and movement. The project enhances biodiversity and strengthens community identity while addressing climate challenges through sustainable landscape architecture.

The Karens Minde Aksen project in Copenhagen exemplifies how integrating climate resilience into landscape architecture can transform urban spaces into sustainable, community-centric environments. The innovative use of a "Brick River" for stormwater management not only addresses ecological concerns but also enhances user experience by creating a dynamic, interactive space that adapts with weather conditions. This approach highlights the potential for design to simultaneously address environmental challenges and foster social engagement, making it a valuable case study for professionals interested in sustainable and participatory urban design.
